Paris Saint Germain’s departing talisman Kylian Mbappé (25) is currently attending a barbecue with the Collectif Ultras Parisiens (CUP), PSG’s number 1 ultras group.
Kylian Mbappé bids farewell to Ultras as PSG exit looms
As reported by RMC journalist Arthur Perrot , the Frenchman has spent the evening in the company of PSG’s most vocal and vociferous supporters, almost immediately after announcing his departure via the club’s official media channels.
The club’s record goalscorer also addressed the hundreds of supporters who had gathered to bid him farewell, giving a short speech to thank them for their consistent backing:
It was a family affair for the Mbappé’s, with Kylian sitting with his brother Ethan (17), also a PSG player who appeared twice in Ligue 1 this season. The atmosphere was mostly boisterous but good natured, with ultras setting off flares in front of the stadium.
It is widely expected that Mbappé will join Spanish champions and Champions League finalists Real Madrid upon the expiration of his PSG contract this summer, with an official announcement from the Iberian capital to follow after their UEFA Champions League final date with Borussia Dortmund on June 1.
